Situation on the ground

The school in question is a Madrasa that serves the Muslim community in Dhanushadham, southeast Nepal. Children and young people from this community face extreme discrimination. In terms of social and educational provision, they are considered to be worse off than the "untouchables" of the Hindu community.
See this recent article from the Nepali Times.The Nepal government does not recognize education in Urdu as formal education and this therefore limits young people's potential to find jobs or access higher education. Therefore, we wish to increase the uptake of the formal CDC curriculum for the children in the Mithila Wildlife Trust's home community.
